Yeah, but here is the cheesy move the UT system made (and has made historically for the last 60 years, mind you):
Quote:The University of Texas System announced a new $160 million endowment that will provide additional tuition assistance for more than 14,000 UT-Austin undergraduate students from middle- and low-income families starting in fall 2020.
According the base sources, the new endowment and policy is only effective at UT/Austin.
Traditionally the UT system has starved the absolute hell out of Dallas, SA, El Paso and any other of the 13 non-Austin UT schools for the behest of UT Austin. This is just reversion to the mean.
For example, UTEP has clawed its way from one graduate program in 1987 (geology) to 13 today, pretty much without any degree of the largess shown Austin. And, to be blunt, El Paso is a geography that these types of programs have an absolute massively positive disparate impact.
Same for many of the other UT campuses.
But hey, lets loosen the load on the flagship and put the (not so satellite) satellite schools of the UT system further on the back burner.
But that has been the path of the UT system for 40 years, so I am not really surprised.
